I sent The Girl to the feed store for a 50 pound bag of chicken feed. She came back with the feed alright, but she also came home with a 50 pound bag of chick starter, and a heating lamp. Oh, and 6 baby chicks. What a stinker! She was very upset over the recent Read More >>

Photo Credit Okay, so maybe I am a total garden nerd, but every year around this time I start thinking about what I’m going to plant in NEXT YEARS garden. And because I am a super nerd, I like to get on the mailing list for my favorite seed companies so I’ll be the first Read More >>
